2008 Begins With New Resolutions

Bandar Seri Begawan - 2008 is finally here! Excitement was in the air as people with their families and friends counted down the final few seconds of 2007 into 2008 at numerous locations.
"It's definitely one of the events I look forward to every single year!" exclaimed 15-year-old Lisa.
"I usually celebrate the New Year with my family and relatives by having BBQ at my grandparents' house, and once the clock strikes twelve, we play some fireworks and sparklers and do a little cheer," she added. Some people went to the beaches to watch the firework displays at the Empire Hotel and Country Club and Jerudong Park Amphitheatre., Some even parked at the side of roads to not missy out on the pyrotechnics in the sky that signified the coming of 2008.
A group of 20-year-olds have made it a ritual to go celebrate New Year at either Kuala Lumpur or Singapore, where it's `more happening'.
"We usually go a few days before to hype ourselves up," said one of them. "Of course, it's one of the most expensive times to go as its peak season, but it's worth it. We have friends there who we are staying with, but some of us are taking advantage of hotel packages to get an even more exciting experience."
Some, however, don't share the same kind of enthusiasm - 43-year-old Laila preferred a quiet night at home with her family.
"It's just another new year for me," she said. "My family and I had dinner and went to sleep early like any other night. A new year doesn't necessarily mean new things happening in the world; it's still the same."
"Sadly, I had to work during New Year's," said Aimie. "I've been doing so for the past five years but I'm actually quite content as I have something to do." -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
